Friendswood DWI Defense Lawyer

Aggressive Defense for Drunk Driving Charges

Driving while intoxicated (DWI) is a serious crime in Texas that carries
severe legal consequences. You can be charged even if you did not feel
intoxicated. But the law is clear: operating a vehicle with a BAC of .08
or more for adults constitutes drunk driving. But just because you tested
above the state's legal limit does not mean that your case is hopeless.

At the Gutheinz Law Firm, we have extensive experience defending clients
from a wide range of drunk driving charges. We can fight your DWI charges
and guide you through the administrative hearings to protect your driving
privileges. When appropriate, we can also secure a divert in place of
a conviction and assist with
expunging arrest records in cases where clients were no-billed, found not guilty, or had dismissals.
Our law firm is focused on providing aggressive, effective representation
at all stages of your case.

DWI Penalties

Penalties for first-time DWI offense:

Up to $2,000 in fines

Up to 180 days in jail

Up to a year in license suspension

Subsequent offenses require higher fines, longer jail time, and longer
license suspension periods. If you are facing a third DWI offense, this
is considered a felony. Other DWI felonies also include intoxication manslaughter
and DWI with child passenger.

Texas also has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to
underage drinking and driving. Any individual under the age of 21 years old who drives with any detectable
amount of alcohol will be charged.

Administrative License Revocation Hearings

The Gutheinz Law Firm can also represent clients in administrative license
(ALR) hearings. You only have a limited time to request a hearing, so
take action immediately and contact a Friendswood DWI attorney at our
